Three Birds

Nothing fancy -- just three quick hand-held bird shots taken between errands yesterday. I am just now starting to play with my new camera, a Nikon P610. These shots were of birds way up in a tree in my neighbor's yard. Looking with my my naked eye, they were just dots on a branch. Yesterday I played with the remote control which will zoom and trigger the camera with an eye phone application, using the camera's built-in Wi-fi system. Very cool. I'm thinking that I can set the camera up outside at the bird feeder, check activity on the phone, and take pictures from inside. Can I be lazier?

Careful- photographing birds can become an addiction- my 26 year old son has become a fanatical bird photographer and is never satisfied with either the camera or the photos- there's always that one better shot...
